Sensitive moisture response to Holocene millennial-scale climate variations in the Mid-Atlantic region, USA
@article{Li2007SensitiveMR, title={Sensitive moisture response to Holocene millennial-scale climate variations in the Mid-Atlantic region, USA}, author={Yong-Xiang Li and Zicheng Yu and Kenneth P. Kodama}, journal={The Holocene}, year={2007}, volume={17}, pages={3 - 8} }
Millennial-scale climate variability has been increasingly recognized as one of the most prominent features of the Holocene. However, regional responses, especially in terms of moisture conditions, are poorly documented and understood. Here we present lithologic and magnetic evidence from White Lake in northern New Jersey, USA, to show that low lake levels occurred at about 1.3, 3.0, 4.4 and 6.1 ka (1 ka = 1000 cal. yr BP). The low lake levels are indicated by heterogeneous coarse calcareous…

The data show four peaks in storminess during the past 14 kyr, consistent with long-term changes in the average sign of the Arctic Oscillation, suggesting that modulation of this dominant atmospheric mode may account for a significant fraction of Holocene climate variability in North America and Europe.
